Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Actually far from struggling in Junior, they will play Intermediate again next year." Tyholland Shipped some heavy beatings all year and will do so again next year.. The champ draw was extremely kind to them and they took advantage of it.. a junior team in quality and intermediate team in name.. the 1 team in intermediate that would want to look in the mirror is clones, their spine is as soft as butter… mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 506 - 30/09/2024 08:06:30 2572452 Link
Replying To Farneyarmyman195: "Drumhowan hard to look past for junior . Real young team with serious pace." Toome will beat them I think. Other semi final hard called. Good semi finals in store in intermediate, looking forward to both. currinman (Monaghan) - Posts: 31 - 30/09/2024 08:24:53 2572454 Link

Emyvale are on paper much better than what their results suggest, that's the Intermediate team I would single out for a kick up the **!

Replying To Farney.: "Changed yesterday. It was ludicrous to rule them out and I wonder if you still are now." Yes! Still ruling them out! Great to see them going well! Would like to see them go up a level but I think it will take some time. They've good youth coming and will make intermediate in a few years! Scotstown threw it away against Toome, struggled on kickouts! farneygossip (Monaghan) - Posts: 38 - 30/09/2024 10:42:35 2572486 Link

Another knockout game Scotstown struggled to put away when they were in the driving seat so late in the game, maybe the hype is overrated when it is such a poor standard this year. Castleblayney has arrived on the scene and no better time than knockout ball, there are a lot of people tipping them to go all the way, maybe not on here but it is being said on the streets. farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 26 - 30/09/2024 12:36:29 2572515 Link

Replying To currinman: "Who do ye fancy in semi finals?? Pity weren't double headers to go watch both games together" Honestly any of them can win it if they play decent. It's been poor. It' will be our worst representation in Ulster in junior level in a long time. Drumhowan havw a decent young team but whoever comes down from intermediate will go straight back up.. veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 590 - 30/09/2024 19:54:35 2572610 Link
Replying To currinman: "Who do ye fancy in semi finals?? Pity weren't double headers to go watch both games together" It will be a toome v bog final.. it's really nice to see you being civil with a scotstown man on here in light of them raiding your currin club for jack…. mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 506 - 30/09/2024 21:37:03 2572622 Link
Toome kind of have been stunmbling after a fast start to the season but dug out a win yesterday when they were treading dangerously. They beat drumhowan with ease in the league, can drumhowan close the gap? I think toome will win it. Other semi tricky to call, aghabog hitting form at the right time but og battle hardened. Agahbaog to win for me. 222 (UK) - Posts: 793 - 30/09/2024 22:45:57 2572633 Link

Ah, I'm not long enough on this to know each others clubs.. But I'm sure there was plenty of talk back in the day about the move, GAA just the same as life, got to get on with it. Simple as that imo. currinman (Monaghan) - Posts: 31 - 01/10/2024 07:36:09 2572641 Link

Is McCarron not living in scotstown and has a connection through his father playing for them? He's hardly a total blow in FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2817 - 01/10/2024 08:35:42 2572642 Link

But I do agree, been saying Toome this long time especially if Wilson is fit to start. currinman (Monaghan) - Posts: 31 - 01/10/2024 09:43:18 2572651 Link

Drumhowan have went up a gear in the championship while toome have been turning it down it seems. That scotstown team are nothing special and they only began to struggle when Mohan decided to start kicking the kick out straight to toome.

Replying To FoolsGold: "Is McCarron not living in scotstown and has a connection through his father playing for them? He's hardly a total blow in" I think Mick has a point here. McCarron played all his underage football with Currin. He skipped across the border under his Father's past with Scotstown but really it was to win a Senior County Championship.

Two big games in Senior this weekend. Ballybay v Latton will be interesting as I don't believe there is much between them. Plus they have the easier semi final out of the two so a real possibility of getting into County Final. Corduff v Inniskeen will be a dogged affair as Corduff will be set up to "disrupt" (putting it mildly) Inniskeen. If Inniskeen can keep all 15 players on the field through this disruption that will be the difference. MuineachanAbu (Monaghan) - Posts: 658 - 01/10/2024 10:12:08 2572663 Link

Fully agree when the going got tough in currin and they started to go downhill after losing main players with damn all coming through he jumped ship to take the easy way out.

Latton and Ballybay this weekend is a toss up. Latton started the year well but faded badly over the summer months and ended up being lucky enough to get out of a poor championship group. Ballybay might just have that little bit more experience on getting over the line on the big day in this one. All three teams on this side of the draw will be fancying their chances of getting to a county final for the right to lose to Scotstown. Ballybay for me. Inniskeen and Corduff should be a humdinger. Inniskeen no doubt have the better footballers but if Corduff upset them Inniskeen could be thrown off course. Tight pitch as well in Carrick so I'd be expecting this one to be physical. I'd be surprised if the wall in Carrick isn't missing a few edges come 7 o'clock Saturday night. Inniskeen for me in this one.
